Position:                 Analyst, Production & Balance
Employed since:     April 2010

What did you do before?

I graduated in October 2009 and was hired shortly thereafter.

What are your primary tasks?

On a daily basis, I make consumption forecasts for the Group’s Swedish customers and wind forecasts for the wind turbines that Energi Danmark is balance responsible for. In order to make forecasts for the customers’ consumption for the next 24 hours, I look at historic consumption data, consumption patterns and statistics as well as new consumption data and weather reports which can affect the consumption. The forecasts are used to buy and sell the amount of energy that the Groups’ consumers and producers are expected to use and produce, respectively, hour for hour, every day.

I am also part of the 24/7 on-call service for the electricity producers that we are balance responsible for. We service our electricity producers e.g. in case of damages, changes in the production or if they have questions concerning the market.

My job is exciting because it is impossible to predict the market to perfection. We constantly have to evaluate on the results and see how well we predicted it. There are always new developments in the market – especially in terms of wind power.

What are your key strengths?

It is my analytical skills enabling me to analyse complex issues.

Why do you like working at the Energi Danmark Group?

I have some great colleagues. At the same time, it is an industry in rapid development and there are always new projects to be part of.
